This was great! Thank you.
Very helpful. Great education
Such a great and informative video!!
Thanks so much!
This was very helpful, thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
I love plants
Here is a quick video of what the hydrangea looked like by July after it had bloomed: ua-cam.com/video/LZ_EayODnp0/v-deo.html
Also if you watch the pruning video and skip all the way to the end I figured out how to add a link to the July pictures so you can see what it looked like. I am in the process of posting more gardening videos. Thanks for commenting!
Thank you for the video. I have a hydrangea tree that I planted a couple years ago and the back half closest to my house is not growing anything. Should I prune that part off? Not sure what to do here. Any help from you would be appreciated. Thanks so much! I tried to attach a picture but couldn’t figure out how to do it. If you have an email or something I could send you a picture of the tree so you have a better idea of what I’m talking about. Thanks again.
Hi Tricia! Where are you located? By now all the hydrangeas have leafed out and if you have stems that don't have leaves on them you can consider them dead and cut them off. You can email me at amy@powersplants.com If you could send me a pic where I can see where it is planted and what is around it that would be great.
FYI, as a viewer, the part you speeded up is some of the most important stuff.
LOVE your explanation at the beginning, but it would really have helped if you'd zoomed in close as you made the cuts you gave us your rationale for. Watching you choose & execute the cuts is so valuable, so it's a shame that's the very part you zoomed out from & speeded up.
I'd have loved to see you do a whole area removing unproductive stems & damaged/unhealthy branches, just to give us an idea of what exactly you're removing & where you decide to make the cuts.
Great video, quite helpful on the 'learn by listening' part, just glossed over the 'learn by watching' a bit too much.
Thanks for the feedback. There are several places where I stopped the time lapse segment and explained why I made the cuts. Did you see those parts?
@@zzmomma119 Yes. I watched the timelapse part at 25% speed (particularly 7:14 onward) so I could see some of the cuts, but the camera is still so far from the cuts.
I was looking forward to watching even the first cut, but you'll see at 5:31 you actually step in front of the camera so we don't see it. It's really that beginners need to not just hear the rationale, but watch as you slowly locate the place to cut & slowly execute the cut.
Your video isn't alone in being helpful but not super-helpful, lol. I think it's because experienced pruners like yourself make the cuts automatically and you've done it so many times you forget you're actually making decisions. For us beginners, it's most helpful to have you slow down that automatic process, zoom in close, explain how you decide where to cut, & then let us watch up close as you find where to cut & then make the cut. Several times/examples, lol.
Not a criticism. It's a great video, just some thoughts from a new but devoted gardener, lol!
If your pruning 30% off,how does the plant grow to get bigger?thank you
Panicle hydrangeas respond to pruning by growing more. I have a lot of new growth from the season in the video that were 4' long. I now cut 50% off this one and it keeps adding huge stems.
Did you have an update on how it grew out after?
These are the pictures I took in July after it had bloomed in full. It was spectacular! ua-cam.com/video/LZ_EayODnp0/v-deo.html
Trim it more
Do you think more off the length or do you mean pruning out more stems?

That is a beautiful plant. How does it look now?
We have a standard-shaped paniculata that looks a lot like your "before" picture in winter.
These things are resilient. Ours is staked because it was once completely flattened and suffered a nasty split after a freak tornado blew down a huge piece of pressure-treated fence. The paniculata recovered from that and never looked back.
I pruned it hard this spring after watching a youtube video. Like you, I started surgically. But then the whole ordeal escalated and before the lady of the house proclaimed "there's nothing left!". There were no crossing branches, there were no twigs, there was not much of anything. None of the surviving branches would have reached higher than the the half-way point of your "after" photo frame at 08:00.
This was not the disaster that we had feared. It grew back slowly in the spring but then relentlessly. It's now late July. The plant has a huge beautiful spherically shaped ball of new foliage. The interior looks like an jungle. Flowers have just started to appear on the outside branches, which seems a few weeks later than usual.
Excellent video very informative!👍
